Hi there. I'm Christie. The happy, handsome fella with me is Rico. A.k.a. Handsomest Maximus, Boo Bear, and other variations. We're both glad you stopped by. Although Rico would be happiest if you could pet him.
I started Dog and Dojo to show dog-lovers how to practice mindfulness with their pets. From checking your reaction to barking to eight everyday opportunities to practice meditating in the company of dogs, I wanted to inspire others to find peace in the midst of what can feel like a chaotic life with canines.
When we started this blogging journey, we were a family of three.
The regal red-head on the left is Roxy. A real pit bull princess. My shadow. My role model. And, as of July 29, 2016, my precious Guardian Angel.
She succumbed to cancer. After bravely battling it with no outward signs or symptoms for four months, she went downhill and was gone in just a week. It was a huge wake-up call on what it means to trust life. But, really, all dogs can teach us things like accepting what we cannot control, the true reason behind bullying, and learning self-compassion.
Roxy's life continues to inspire me. And Rico is an amazing instructor — a Buddha who drops lots of wisdom along with hair. So Dog and Dojo continues.
Maybe something here will remind you to enjoy the present moment regardless of the future or the past. But while I'm humbled thinking someone might find Dog and Dojo useful, I admit my intentions are much more selfish now. I simply do not want to forget what my fur babies have taught me. Ever.
Thank you for visiting and for taking this journey with us. And thank you for loving animals.

Pre-Existing Conditions Exclusion Waiver:
How Do I Become Eligible for One?
Travel insurance provides benefits to help protect your travel investment, whether it's compensating for lost time, luggage, or the inability to attend the trip due to an unforeseen emergency. Many travel insurance policies include a pre-existing conditions exclusion. If you have a chronic health condition, this could impact your travel plans and potentially impede you from getting the coverage that you need.
Because many travelers have pre-existing conditions, travel insurance companies now offer a pre-existing conditions exclusion waiver. This waiver, as the name suggests, waives the exclusion on many chronic, but well-managed health conditions. However, there are specific requirements that travelers need to meet in order to be eligible for this benefit. What are some of the most common eligibility requirements? Let's find out!

New album released
Jan 2018
The adapted songs in this album are contemporary folk rock versions of the ancient songs. Included in this collection are songs of celebration and songs of lament.
released Jan 17, 2018
Lyrics, vocals and djembe by Joel Anderson
Female vocals by Wendy Muth (69), Natasha Krause (147) and Olivia Klassen (42, 130)
Cello: Brian Chan
Dreams was recorded at Protection Island, Jordan Klassen's studio and Joel Anderson's home
Jordan Klassen produced Psalm 119.
All songs except 119 were mixed and mastered by Jonathan Anderson from www.protectionis.land All additional instruments were added by Jonathan Anderson
The original Psalms are a collection of songs written thousands of years ago. They basically form the hymnbook of ancient Israel. The original collection of Psalms included 150 songs which were composed at various stages throughout Israel's history. The collection was completed by 200 BC or earlier. It features both celebration songs and laments.
As a group of songs, the Psalms are quite different from contemporary Christian worship songs. Most Psalms don't fit easily into contemporary song structure formats (verse, chorus, verse). Yet the Psalms are Biblically deep in a way that is subversive of pop culture. The Psalms also feature many lament songs which radically depart from the "making people happy" motive that is at work in most congregations.
Featuring 10 new songs by Joel Anderson and friends. In this album are contemporary folk rock versions of the Hebrew Psalms. Songs of celebration and songs of lament.

Includes 10 MP3 songs and cover art. All payments are secure and handled by Paypal.

Home Owner in Hutto
We have a 2,800 sq ft, 2-story house, with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Please provide a quote via text/call or we can set up a time for you to come by for an estimate. What's important to us? Basics = dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathrooms, etc. What do we also expect on a regular basis? Baseboards, blinds, ceiling fans, etc. Not necessarily a "deep cleaning" every time, but if I'm paying for a service, I expect it to be a better job than I would do myself (and I'm pretty particular). We've had someone we've used for the last 10 years but she moved out of the area, so looking for that next person to be our 10 year housekeeper. Would prefer an individual, not a service. A service is ok if local (no national chains). Thanks in advance!

A Guide to Tanning for a Photoshoot I Guest Blog by Grace Combs
Grace is a wedding photographer, and has graciously given me her permission so share this well thought out and worded information on tanning for a photoshoot. Thank you Grace for your generosity!
Let's face it. We like to look tan but no one wants to look orange in their pictures, especially if they are important pictures that will hang around for a lifetime. If you live in a state that requires you to partake in winter, you have probably thought about tanning for a photo shoot once or twice. So how much tanning is too much tanning for photos. Here is a guide to tanning that will hopefully save you from a dreaded agent orange experience.
1. Cameras saturate colors. Colors can look one way to your eye and another to a camera. Cameras absorb light. That's how the image is created. All color gives off a certain variant of light. That's how colors are seen. Vibrant colors like orange and red look more vibrant to a camera than they do to your eye, especially in bright sun light. So if your skin is a little bit orange to your eye, its gonna be a lotta bit orange to the camera.
My advice: Less is more. Only go two or three shades darker than you are without tanning. That will ensure that you won't look red or orange but will have a natural, healthy glow.
2. Cameras can pick up tan lines that can't allows be seen to the eye. I have retouched many images from women whose tan lines suddenly appeared in images that weren't there when they looked in the mirror. Areas that don't get sun can just be naturally lighter and can show up.
My advice: tan in a swim suit that is similar to the outfit you will wear for your pictures. Plan on tanning in this swim suit months prior to your shoot and only wear this shoot. One day in a criss crossy top can ruin your well laid plans. Tanning in a tanning bed (where you are most likely naked) will resolve your tan line issue but tanning to much in a tanning bed can give you that orangey glow that you don't want. So take it easy and take it slow. Tanning once a week for a few months prior to your shoot will ensure your skin won't over absorb and turn orange.
3. Be proud of your skin tone and do things that will compliment it, not cover it up. If you are pale, you are pale. Its probably time that you came to terms with that. But pale isn't ugly. In fact, pale is quite gorgeous! You can have that milky complexion that is desired amongst models and actresses. You don't want to look sickly or ghostly so I understand wanting to get some color. But take it easy. Like I said above, less is more. A warm glow is all you need. Not some barbie beach bum tan.
My advice: spend time outside but wear sun block. No one like s burn and red can be as bad as orange in pictures. If you still feel like you are too pale for your shoot, head to Sephora and get a good bronzer. It will brighten up your face without making you look like you are trying to be something you're not.
4. Never spray tan. I don't care what they say. Spray tan doesn't look normal. Especially on camera. So just say no. It maybe the most effective way to get dark without sun damage but I would rather you be pale then show up looking like an oompaloompa's cousin. Again, be proud of the skin you were given. Accentuate it, don't cover it up to fit a trend.
My advice: Say no. Walk away. Never look back.
5. If your shoot is a group (such as a bridal party), make sure your group has this same game plan. Natural skin tones are easy to balance but if you have natural skin tones mixed with an agent orange, it becomes quite challenging to make it look normal. You want your group to look cohesive so make sure they don't go over board on the tanning boat.
My advice: Be encouraging of peoples natural skin tones. Embrace them for the beauty that they were created with and do things that will encourage them to enhance their beauty. No one needs a bridezilla so don't mandate. If you have someone in your group who went a little over board, its not the end of the world. If you hired a good photographer, they should be able pose you in a way that doesn't bring attention to tan lines, burns or orangey skin. They should also be able to edit the pictures that downplays any faux pas.
Following these simple rules will help your photographer love you even more and it will make their job easier. A happy photographer = gorgeous pictures.

DAVID Beckham pledged his long-term commitment to Real Madrid today and revealed how he had been touched by the public reaction to last week's deadly bomb attacks.
Rather than driving the England captain out of Spain and back to the Premiership, where he continues to be linked to big-spending Chelsea, Beckham has confirmed his determination to stay with mighty Madrid.
"When speculation starts, it continues," said Beckham, who joined Madrid from Manchester United last summer.
"But as I said, I'm happy at Real Madrid, I want to stay at Real Madrid. and that's the end of that."
There were 200 fatalities after terrorists struck four trains in the centre of Madrid last Thursday.
An estimated two million people then marched the next evening through the streets of the capital in a protest against terrorism, while large crowds gathered in all major Spanish towns.
"When things like that happen it brings countries and people together whatever their nationality," said Beckham.
"I'm English and living in Spain, but everyone has become united whatever their nationality and that's a nice thing.
"It shows the strength of the people. It's been tough for everyone, but it's good to be part of the situation.
"What happened has shown solidarity among the people and I hope people can get over such a complicated time."
Beckham could collect his first major medal in a Madrid shirt on Wednesday night when the team bid for the first leg of a potential treble.
They take on Real Zaragoza in the Copa del Rey final, which is to be staged at the Olympic stadium in Barcelona, and Beckham is eager to get his hands on the trophy.
Madrid could only draw 1-1 with Zaragoza in the league on Saturday, however, which was not the result they were seeking in the dress rehearsal for this week's final.
"We can play a lot better than on Saturday," stated Beckham who, along with all players in Spain this weekend, observed a minute's silence prior to kick-off, in memory of those killed in the train attacks.
"We had no energy in the game, everything was taken out of us, and with the circumstances surrounding it, it wasn't an enjoyable game.
"I'm sure the final will be a lot different."
Madrid are leaders of the Primera Liga, in which they have a four-point cushion over Valencia, and they are also through to the Champions League quarter-finals where Monaco lie in wait.
Medal winner
For Beckham, who picked up his first medal for Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa at the start of the season - the equivalent to England's Community Shield - the prospect of winning a big prize such as the Copa del Rey is one which he is keen to grasp.
"It would mean a lot," said Beckham.
"Winning the Supercup was good to win early, but the first cup and the first final I've played in will be special.
"I hope we can win another trophy for Real Madrid, but it will be hard and a special game."
Madrid have not triumphed in the Copa del Rey since 1993, a long drought but one which has been offset by their achievement in winning the Champions League three times in the intervening period.
"We've worked hard to get here," added Beckham. "It's a big game and we really want to win it."
Asked how the final would compare with the FA Cup, Beckham's understanding was that its Spanish equivalent did not quite hold the same prestige.
"The build-up to the FA Cup is different," said Beckham.
"There is more excitement around it than the Spanish cup, but this is my first time, so I can't say until afterwards.
"There is excitement around the city, but there seems to be more in England."
There is increasing pressure on Beckham to raise his level of performance to the high standard of his first few months with Madrid.
His game has gone somewhat off the boil in 2004, particularly in recent games.
"I feel okay," he said.
"I have felt better in the last few games.
"I started well and had a slight dip after a few injuries and suspensions, but I feel okay."

Steven Gerrard has spoken about how he and wife Alex are settling nicely into their new LA life.
The former Liverpool captain said he couldn't wait to be reunited with his three children, who were expected to fly out yesterday due to them staying behind in Merseyside for their schooling.
And he said making sure his three girls - 11-year-old Lilly-Ella, Lexie, nine, and Lourdes, three - adjust to living in the US will be key over the coming weeks.
The midfielder admitted if Alex and their daughters are happy then that will inspire his glory with new club LA Galaxy.
He said: "[My three girls] had exams in school and didn't finish school until Friday, so my mum's bringing them over.
"And that's another challenge for me to help them settle and get used to life over here. So we're really looking forward to doing that."
He also revealed WAG Alex, 32, was enjoying her time in America thanks to her fitness regime.
He added: "Alex is settling really well. She's got her gym routine going, and she's making new friends.
"But for me if Alex and the girls are happy, that will certainly help me perform on the pitch. So that's going to be key over the next couple of weeks to make sure that they are happy."
Speaking to reporters for first time since joining LA Galaxy, he said: "I love Liverpool.
"I will miss it at times. But I'm so excited to be here, moving forward it's about me playing for LA Galaxy and what I'm going to bring to the table for my new club.
"Everyone knows Liverpool will be always in my heart, but for me now it's all about fighting for a new badge in LA Galaxy, and I'll work as hard as I can both on and off the pitch to do whatever I can for this club."

Unionville, PA
Acupuncture, a type of Traditional Chinese Medicine now well supported by medical research, involves the insertion of extremely thin needles through the skin at strategic points on the body to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissue. This stimulation appears to boost the body's natural regulatory activity to help control the pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammation that may accompany many diseases and the conventional therapies used to treat them.
Acupuncture is not painful and most patients fall asleep during treatment. Research supports the use of acupuncture for various medical conditions including pain relief for surgical pain, arthritis; gastrointestinal disorders such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite; cancer support; neurological disorders such as limb weakness, back pain, seizures; behavior disorders such as thunderstorm anxiety; and general support for aging patients (kidney, heart, immune system).

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 3, 2015) - NovX21 Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NOV) (or the "Corporation") provides the following corporate update.
Given the limited financial resources of the Corporation, most of the directors and officers of the Corporation have resigned. René Branchaud remains as secretary and only director for a transitional period.
Private Placement
The Corporation is pursuing its efforts to raise sufficient capital to restart its operations at the St-Augustin-de-Desmaures plant. The Corporation has now raised $106,750 by the issuance of 2,135,000 units. Each unit, at $0.05, is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant of the Corporation. Each warrant allows its holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.06 for a period of 12 months following the closing date of the private placement.
The securities issued under the private placement are subject to a four-month hold period. No finders' fees were paid for this private placement.
The proceeds from this placement will be used for working capital.
The Corporation is in discussion with several groups of investors and explores a full range of alternatives.
Trading on TSX Venture Exchange
Trading on the Corporation's common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange has been halted pending issuance of this press release. Trading will resume when the Corporation will meet the requirements of the Exchange, including the requirement to have a board of directors of at least three members.
About NovX21
NovX21 operates an industrial prototype plant for the recovery of Platinum Group Elements (Platinum, Palladium and Rhodium, or PGMs). The plant is located near Quebec City in St-Augustin-de-Desmaures. Its patented process yields more than 97% recoveries of PGMs, and is not only much less capital extensive but also operates much more rapidly than conventional plants, thus dramatically lowering the amount of time that its customers' capital is tied up as work-in-process inventory. NovX21's mission is to sustainably recover precious metals by recycling end-of-life PGM containing components while meeting global "green" standards for the automobile industry.
Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

From since some of my friends mentioned about Mt. Daimonji, the idea of climbing such a wonderful place has never been wiped away from my mind.
I was about to go to Mt. Hiei the other day, however the sky was dark and gray, and my travel company reluctant to go there, so I changed my plan to climb Mt. Daimonji.
I was going to have a little picnic on the top of the mountain. But by the time I left my home, it was already around 2 o'clock and a mischievous monster in my stomach was kicking it hardly(because of hunger I guess), I had my picnic lunch at home.
Then I headed to Mt. Daimonji.
It is located just behind of Silver pavilion. You can climb and come back in one and a half hour (if you are fit enough).
When I arrived at the bottom of the mountain, I needed to go to the bathroom, there is none of course, though. I thought about doing it in the bush but I didn't(just in case).
On the way to the top, I encountered various kinds of people- school kids doing excise, a group of middle aged ladies and friendly old men couple...
I realized that we (including myself) are much more open-minded when we are in the nature. We say hello or how are you or I was even asked my birthday (I don't know why) by completely stranger. The fresh air makes people more relaxed and brings love and peace I felt.
Now I understand why my friends recommended me to go to Mt. Daimonji. I had a great afternoon that day except my bathroom thing worries.
Climbing up to Mt. Daimonji
From since some of my friends mentioned about Mt. Daimonji, the idea of climbing such a wonderful place has never been wiped away from my mind.

Billionaire Hedge Fund Manager Carl Icahn Is Asking Tim Cook To Buy Back $150 Billion Of Apple Stock
So he says in a letter to the company today on the new website he launched. However, the website appears to be having technical issues.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Carl Icahn sent Apple CEO Tim Cook a letter yesterday asking him to ramp up the company's program of buying back shares.
He said he would post the letter on a new website he was launching today — however, the website's registration was down for much of the morning, prompting a lot of comments about how it's working about as good as the U.S. health care website.
In the letter, Icahn says he has increased his position in Apple to about 4.7 million shares (about $2.5 billion) and is asking Cook to buy back $150 billion worth of shares at $525 in an immediate tender offer.
"Apple generates more than enough cash flow to service this amount of debt and has $147 billion of cash in the bank. As we proposed at our dinner, if the company decided to borrow the full $150 billion at a 3% interest rate to commence a tender at $525 per share, the result would be an immediate 33% boost to earnings per share, translating into a 33% increase in the value of the shares, which significantly assumes no multiple expansion," he said in the letter.
He also said he expects Apple to reach a share price of $1,250 if Cook follows through with the proposal.
"We want to be very clear that we could not be more supportive of you, the existing management team, the culture at Apple and the innovative spirit it engenders. The criticism we have as shareholders has nothing to do with your management leadership or operational strategy. Our criticism relates to one thing only: the size and timeframe of Apple's buyback program. It is obvious to us that it should be much bigger and immediate," he wrote in the letter.
Icahn appeared on Bloomberg TV yesterday saying he hoped Apple would do something with its massive pile of cash, which is large enough to rival the treasuries of some sovereign nations. At more than $150 billion stockpiled, and with more likely on the way with the company's earnings coming next week, Icahn has argued Apple has more than enough cash to fund research and development and also pay out a major return to stockholders.
Still, Icahn is just coming off a major victory where he recognized about $800 million in returns off the sale of part of his stake in Netflix, whose stock rose more than 400% in trading in the past year or so.
Apple is already in the midst of a $100 billion buyback program, in which it returns value to its shareholders through the process of buying back shares and paying out dividends.
Icahn's website, which features large art and a few comments about making management accountable and protecting shareholders, still appeared to be having technical issues as of 9:15 a.m. eastern time. The lead quote on the site is from Icahn himself at a Texaco meeting in 1998, reading, "A lot of people died fighting tyranny. The least I can do is vote against it."
[Update: The website is working as of 11:30 a.m. eastern time, and the story has been updated with details from the letter.]

John Kasich plans on using his State of the State to educate people how awesome he is… (We're serious.)
Read enough previews for the State of the State stories in today's newspapers and one common thread emerges in all of them: John Kasich doesn't think the media has given adequate attention to just how awesome and "historic" his first 50 some days in office have been.
"I think we've had a historic 50 days," Kasich said. "It's really been pretty remarkable."—Columbus Dispatch
From the Plain Dealer:
"The governor said he wonders why he hasn't received more favorable coverage across the state for his accomplishments. But then again, he knows why. He vows to do a better job keeping in check his off-the-cuff remarks which have landed him in trouble.
And so on. Governor, it's called a "State of the State" address, not "State of the Governor."
In fact, the stories all indicate that Kasich doesn't reportedly even have a draft of the speech ready as of Friday (which I find as incredibly hard to believe as the notion the Administration is trying to put out there that Kasich is writing the whole thing himself.)
What Kasich has all but assured the media that WON'T be in his State of the State address is much in the way of specifics in his State budget due the following week. Those details will be revealed at the last possible minute in an event at the Riffe Tower scheduled for next week, we're told. While the media coverage of that afterwards will be as intense, the backdrop of such a presentation is more subdued than a State of the State address. In short, Kasich is intentionally avoiding using the State of the State to defend the specifics budget he has yet to introduce.
There's something to be said for a politician standing in the well of the people's legislative branch, looking the gallery and those legislators in the eye and telling them, this is my agenda and this is why I believe it must be done. Kasich, apparently, isn't planned to that. Instead, he wants to recap what he's done and then give a "big picture" thematic speech of what the problems are in how and how what he's doing fits in there. It's a whole lot easier to give a speech about the need for everyone to work together, get things done, and do something that creates jobs and opportunities in Ohio than it is to explain how a 20% cut in higher education fits into that agenda.
It's cowardly. Kasich expects these legislators, many of them freshman, most of whom are used to their work being virtually anonymous and now thrust them in the spotlight to pass his budget. And yet, Kasich isn't willing to stand there in the well of the people's House and talk about the programs he's eliminating or massively cutting and why. Everyone, including Kasich's own folks, are predicting that the State budget is going to create an even bigger dustup than SB 5, if that's possible.
Tomorrow, it's going to be the same vapid "we're all in this together; I'm concerned about poverty" nonsense he gave us at the inauguration. Kasich made no effort to work with public unions on collective bargaining reform. He had Shannon Jones roll it out and only allowed it to be scaled back when the Senate lacked the votes to pass it as originally written (more on that later today.) If John Kasich is interested in working together with everyone to solve Ohio's problems, he's done an embarrassingly poor job demonstrating that in the past fifty days.
During the campaign, this site was a regular critic of Governor Kasich's stubborn unwillingness to just level with people about what exactly he was planning to do, to explain his agenda. If Kasich's speech tomorrow is nothing more than historical revisionism of the past fifty some days and vapid, inspirational speaker-type platitudes, he continues to fail to level with us. It's been two months since he took office, will he finally tell us what his full agenda is since he refused to do so during the campaign?
If this is the best Governor Kasich is willing to do to defend SB 5 and his budget, why should he expect the members of the General Assembly to be any more visible and unified in defending it, either?
If that's the path Kasich chooses to go, then he really is overpaying his communication staff. Kasich better learn quickly that you can't just wrap the word "jobs" around everything you do and expect it to sail through. Or come January 2013, he may find a lot fewer friendly faces looking at him from the gallery for his third State of the State address.
I really hope he works in another comment about chicken and noodles and bob evans. I loved that in the inauguration.
I'm sure his speech will contain his comments, "I was the one that balanced the budget when I was a Congressman." So lame!
We know who is occupying the Governor's Office. We know the Fox News sound bites that will emanate. Many of his followers have come to the realization that what was once a sound bite is now backed by a power that can affect their lives, their jobs, their incomes, and their futures.
There is a vast difference between watching NASCAR hoping to see a massive pile up of vehicles in flames and realizing that the next car wreck may involve you and your family.
Kasich's "If you're not on the bus, we'll run over you with the bus," is becoming all too vivid a possibility to many. Let's hope that this time the driver of that bus sees the people on the side of the road, pulls over, is forced to send the bus to the impound lot, and we take back the keys.
Has anyone noticed how much Kasich's mannerisms mimic G.W.Bush's. The deer in the headlight look, the ability to smile at all the inappropriate times. The ability to never hold his head up straight, always at an angle as if he's been rear-ended !!!Will he tell us he's the "Decider' ???I know it's a longshot but…. I'm hoping he announces he's stepping down……….
Indeed, his first 50 days HAVE been historic. What other governor has so quickly walked back on so many promises, unveiled so many punitive extremist measures, and turned so many people against him so quickly? I think his ability to trash most shreds of goodwill he enjoyed so soon is remarkable.
I'm willing to bet that it will include three of his favorite words – sacrifice, drastic, and scripture. The word that won't be mentioned? Re-election.
I know it would be a bit early, but I would suggest a drinking game. You have to drink every time he says entrepreneurship. Feel free to suggest other "drink" words.
I know it would be a bit early, but I would suggest a drinking game. You have to drink every time he says entrepreneurship. Feel free to suggest other "drink" words.
I hope he singles out a cop and calls him an "idiot" again.
RJKIN, you said it very well. He got a lot of votes from people who now have vowed to vote him out
Roto Rooter
How about every time he starts a sentence with "Look" meaning "Look here you idiot"….
By all people..Kasich n his private sector CEO's? Has anyone given much thought to his plan on "easing" as stated in todays article? If all "private sector." CEO's? They r exempt from gov't policies? And…if private..meaning corporate…CEO's..Be careful Ohio..the Koch brothers are pushn for this n if corporate controlled instead of govt controlled..could open up to enviromental "easing/" They dont have to follow the enviromental regulations…"easing?" Who are really stealing, overpaid, n manipulating u against us, the public servants who protect n keep govts/corporations n check, with UNION HELP, keeping Ohio, America safe from company's who will save billions "easing" regulations..pollutn our water tables..enviroment, ? Remember BP gulf mess? New Orleans? They r drilln again…remember the love canal? Children will b sick..cancer.."Easing" zand changing our gov;t is not what he;s leadn u to believe. His goal? Corporate control.."easing" regulations.. not to benefit our community..but control people, us, by manipulating us, taking peoples rights away…instilling fear. He's got everyone in private sector mad at public servants dividing us. Why? Think! We average 45-50 grand? He n his CEO's…200-300,000….? Who will really benefit here? We are the working class like you. Historic? Oh yes..historic alright…Oh n by the way? Kasich , aaccordn to Columbus Dispatch this morning states they are handn out vouchers for hearings, 1st come 1st serve…My opinion? They r already gone! With the Koch billionaires fundn the teabaggers with millions to help Kasich n them destroy unions n intentionally cause Ohio to split blaming and accusing ur educators, nurses and protectors of riding the gravy train! We average 45-50grand and are highly educated, attendn college our entire lives to keep up liscensures. We r educated with more education or equal to lawyers, doctors…but we serve you and are passionate about our jobs. We chose these public service jobs not to join a union but to serve , educate n protect our communities and provide a better future for our children and grandchildren. Kasich n his private sector corporation buddies he appointed with raises n bonuses that should have been Ohioans jobs, now are tryn to convince you, we r criminals n taking from u the tax payers. We r taxpayers, n my pension, I paid into, not the taxpayers. Ill pay being a taxpayer my firemen, police, nurses..because my safety n there courage protectn us is worth it to me. Im not some millionaire, like Kasich who worked with Lehman brothers who took millions from Ohioans leaving them without anything. Remember Ohio? We are the middle class. We are you. The only people riding the "gravy train?" Not any of us…Kasich took from us before with the Lehman brothers.."gravy baby!" Millions…remember? Wake up Ohio.
Who actually voted for this moron? IMPEACH! BEFORE HE KILLS WHAT IS LEFT OF OHIO. (rolls eyes and sighs)

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
Well, this happened. CBS released a first look for the newest superhero show to hit the waves, and it's Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, Superman's older cousin. That's right, after a preposterously written Catwoman movie and Marvel's dodgy treatment of female superheroes because Disney feels that they can exclude female superheroes from solo movies and commercial merchandise because they already have the Princess line to target girls (You mean I'm not allowed to like both Princess Jasmine and Storm from X-men at the same time?), CBS and DC have stepped up to the plate to offer us a female superhero TV show, and if the trailer is any indication of what we have to expect this season then please step down from the plate, CBS and DC, and burn the plate forever. The last thing we need is another compelling female superhero repackaged into what appears to be someone's fan fiction of the lost season of The Hills: Lauren discovers she has superpowers.
It's hard to completely write Supergirl off. It's just the trailer, after all, and CBS has a stellar line up of strong female protagonists, like Alicia Florrick of The Good Wife. Even as I watched the trailer, I saw so much potential, but not enough to overcome its very unsubtle grasp for a female audience.
Take the trailer's opening, a powerful scene where 12-year-old Kara says goodbye to her parents for the last time. The tone then immediately shifts, cutting to a meek, bespectacled, high-heels-are-weird-because-I'm-a-nerd-even-though-I-have-super-balance Kara getting volleyed along the bustling streets of 'National City' while stammering her way through a phone call for work, jump cut to her boss, Callista Flockheart as ersatz Meryl Streep, marching around the office in oversized sunglasses, reprimanding Kara for cold lattes and the private elevator smelling of cheap cologne.
Kara has a run in with Jimmy—I mean JAMES—Olson because he's a man now, and so dreamy that he makes her forget her name. Cut to Kara's apartment, she flops about, puffing sighs like a chimney from her bottom lip to her messy-perfect bangs, complaining to her sister that she has NO IDEA what to wear on her date, but also she's twenty-four, so it's time to burst into a squiggly ball of neurosis: WHO AM I? I JUST FETCH LAY OUTS AND COFFEE, BUT I CAN LIFT BUSSES AND FLY—I THINK. All of this matched to a pop-rock soundtrack that left a pink and sparkly taste in my mouth.
SuperGIRL: she can lift a bus, but she can't lift… her insecurities? Oh, just save someone from falling off a skyscraper already!
Well, let me be fair, the trailer did deliver on some action. The entire sequence of Kara saving the crashing airplane was intense, and her putting an elbow through that charging truck got me pumped, but it wasn't savored, for every other shot demanded we acknowledge her formulaic femininity. Like Kara squealing and flutter-kicking on her couch when her antics made the News, Kara fretting over her superhero outfit (like cape or no cape?), Kara hugging her knees in angst because saving people is hard, Kara holding back tears when a military general-person-guy-whatever, who she could literally melt with a glance, inexplicably quips, "Stick to getting coffee."
Also, Kara's creepy Superman hero worship. I get he's been at this longer than you, but dude, he's your little cousin. Go call him or something, just stop giving the camera that doe-eyed pouty face of helplessness!
All culminating to the finale credits: IT'S NOT A BIRD, IT'S NOT A PLANE, IT'S NOT A MAN (ah hah!) IT'S SUPERGIRL! Oh yes, "GIRL", and if you forget, rewind to Callista Flockheart's fourth wall-breaking lecture, clearly designed to preempt any possible feminist objections, "What do you think is so bad about 'girl'? I'm a girl, and your boss, and powerful, and rich, and hot, and smart, so if you perceive Supergirl as anything less than excellent, isn't the real problem you?"
Welp! Misogyny solved. Let's all just go home and take a nice hot bubble bath.
This show is for girls. No boys allowed! Add this trailer to the long list of sorry attempts to adapt Supergirl with the same boring themes: Superman-but-a-girl, superGIRL, GIRL-SUPERMAN—we get it, okay? She's, blonde, she has boobs and a vagina, she's strong, she's bulletproof, she makes flowers bloom, she gracefully pirouettes through the sky (for real), because everyone knows superGIRL can be strong and feminine, but what superGIRL cannot do is just be, you know, super.
DC, Marvel, CBS, Disney, whoever—listen to my cis-gendered, comic-geek, lover-of-girly-things vagina: your hardline gendering of female protagonists is not creative. It's condescending. This large-eyed-girl-in-the-city-fashion-lattes-OMGboys-martinis angle is not original. It's patronizing.
Why not give us an authentic Kara-El? The one from the comics, written in all her brashness, all her ugly PTSD, and survivors' guilt from being the only one to make it off of Krypton's Argo City and being old enough to remember. Give us her rebel ways, tamed by her love for the only family she has left. Where's that trailer? An opening scene of her space pod in stasis orbiting Earth for decades, before finally landing in Siberia, followed by her busting out of her spaceship with a newly acquired shit-ton of powers and absolutely no idea what to do with them except rage. Then here comes Superman, dropping in to save the day, and she immediately punches him in the face because who the fuck is this grown ass man pretending to be her baby cousin? Give us her grit, her General Zod-like attitude while she adapts to this new world. Where's the ferocity that earned Kara the title of Superman's "secret weapon" during the Silver Age of comics?
That's the Supergirl we're waiting for. So unless you, CBS and DC, are planning to do a 180 tonal shift from that first look, please hit erase and head back to the war room.
—And hire more women writers for goodness sake!

Homys (once our URL: www.Homys.org) is a company of people working with Rural System throughout the world. They work at home. Rural System arranges and manages a homesourcing system. It is transnational. Working from home is the only distinguishing characteristic of these people other than that they have expertise, have declared interest in and concern for natural resources of the world, and have pledged diligent and honest work. They engage in all types of work and all is meaningful for it fits within a system dedicated to human benefits from rural resources. Many are very well educated and either prefer the advantages and economies of working at home or find staying at home is essential because of family, health, or other reasons. Maybe there have been layoffs or closures and temporary employment is needed. After the Katrina storm event, similar emergencies suggested other needs for membership. Census Bureau statistics suggest that the number of American working from home grew by 800,000 from 1990 to 2000 ( a 23% increase. Of course we are eager to work with Defense Department staff and security forces now affected by their services to the country. High travel costs and risks increasingly promote membership and Homys work.
See, for example, 10 possibilities
Operating somewhat like a dating service, Rural System solicits members, i.e. , willing workers, finds their strengths and interests, and offers them piece or hourly-wage work. Members become part of a diverse, dispersed, eclectic entity. They gain funds for their work, experience a new kind of community feeling, and gain from offerings of Rural System - medical advisories, emergency links, health information, exercise routines, occasional conferences, news of Rural System, and catalog offering discounts. Members may attend occasional meetings or engage in distance-learning to gain knowledge of Rural System and positive interactions.
A proposed , draft newspaper advertisement for soliciting members (partially to describe the system):
Brand New
Rural System's
We have a great awareness of the presence of and respect for adults at home. We know that there are wonderful abilities and interests there, often unfulfilled. We're creating a dispersed company and if you have two or more hours to work with us a day, even a few days a week, we want you in our company, Homys. We know that there are plenty of reasons why you are at home. We'll not concentrate on that, only on your abilities and interests, our corporate needs for quality work, continuing profitability, and support for improving conditions in rural areas of the world. We need your willingness to work and make honest money. We're not guaranteeing employment. We're seeking workers for special tasks, types of work, or assignments. Our work is almost unlimited - from computer work to gardening. We're creating opportunities and memberships, saving energy, improving the quality of life for hundreds. We're getting started and we'll offer more later but for now we want you to join us in a global adventure - a venture. We'll probably hire you for what amounts to what is called in some circles "piece work." or jobs. We deliver materials and assignments --you deliver high-quality results, and we pay well. The scale increases as the amount increases -- the better, the more...the more, the better the pay.
We're into pure capitalism, worldwide -- with a rural priority. We're part of Rural System (www.RuralSystem.com). We're helping sustain diverse rural resources.We'll succeed and prosper together.
Think with us; work with us; tell us what you can do. Perhaps two or three of you will form a team and make a single response. What are your work interests? We try to be creative and open to that creativity of others. Answer our computer form (and add notes or a letter if you desire to do so) in complete confidence. No cost.
This one ad might be the key to your future and to vitalized rural areas of Virginia Tennessee, and, yes, also the world. Save the ad for framing, but before that, answer our questionnaire at www.Homys.com Check out the parent company at www.RuralSystem.com.
Draft Questionnaire
We know that there is not enough information here for you to make a precise answer, but the big question is: Are you interested in and feel confident that you can probably do good work within some topic listed below and would like to find out more and perhaps be offered a task or work assignment in this area? Rural System wants and needs volunteers, but in this questionnaire we are seeking people interested in part-time, home-located-only employment. There is payment to be arranged, based on the type and amount of work to be performed.
Enter a number from 0 to 10 expressing your level of interest beside each topic. Enter 0 or skip it if not interested at all. Enter 10 if you are really interested and you are likely to have high expertise.
Would you like more information? About what number? (For example, if you enter here 5, we shall send information about all items in the list that you assigned 6 or greater.)
Please enter at the bottom of the list other possible areas of interest or work for you or others.
Home address (not post office)
Post office address (if this is the only place where materials or work assignments might be delivered)
Phone (if any and if you are willing to talk; country and area code required)
Hours that you might be able to work per day
Number of days per week that you cannot/will not work
Unusual delivery limits/requirements (to or from; if any)
Work not listed above with which you would like to work with us
Check out Rural System's e-catalog . Your work may appear there some day.
Have property? Become one of the Rural System Tracts and improve its profitability for you along with us. Contact ...
Perhaps you will share ideas and suggestions with me about some of the topic(s) above .

Can I order Uber online? Yes you can! Can you order it with a landline even? Yes, there is a way!
All you need is a web browser and Internet access to order Uber online.
So yes, your desktop, laptop, tablet, or even an old (non-smart) cell phone with a web browser will work! And if all that fails, there is a new service called GoGoGrandparent that we talk about at the end.
Updated 10/3/16
Here are the 6 steps to use Uber without a smartphone if you DO NOT ALREADY HAVE AN UBER ACCOUNT:
1. Sign up for Uber here. You will get a $15 credit of your first ride. You need to have a credit card handy.
2. Once you fill out that form and hit enter you will get to the window that says to download the app just back out and ignore that
3. Go to this page and login to your rider account using the username and password you just created.
In the box that says "Request access to m.uber.com" type in a request for permission to use the m.uber.com site to order Uber online without a smartphone. "Please allow me to use the mobile site" should work. Hit submit and you will get a response that says "
4. Wait for them to reply by email then go to http://m.uber.com
5. Allow your browser to provide location services in Firefox. Chrome does not seem to need this.
6. From here you can sign in with your email and the password you just used to create the account.
If you put in the wrong password or username you will get a "network error" message. You may also get one if you don't have permission from Uber to use the site, although it works for me without permission.
Here is a video I made that should help you with the steps
Here are the 4 steps to use Uber without a smartphone if you ALREADY HAVE AN UBER ACCOUNT:
1. Go to http://m.uber.com
2. Allow your browser to provide location services if asked. It asked me in Firefox, but not in Chrome.
3. From here you can sign in with your email address and password.
If for some reason, you cannot get in and get a "network error" message, you may have just entered the wrong user name and password.
If you check and it is right,
4. Go to this page and login to your rider account using the username and password you just created.
In the box that says "Request access to m.uber.com" type in a request for permission to use the m.uber.com site to order Uber online without a smartphone. "Please allow me to use the mobile site" should work. Hit submit and you will get a response that says "
Wait for them to reply by email, then go to m.uber.com and try again.
If you have any troubles with this procedure, please contact us and let us know. You can contact Uber for help as well.
If you need a two way trip but don't have access to the internet on the way home, check out the information below about GoGoGrandparent.
If you have never ordered Uber online before, click here to read my beginners guide to using Uber's free first trip code.
Other ways to get Uber without a smartphone:
If you have a tablet you can download the app just like you would on a smartphone. The app should work very similarly to the way it would on a smartphone. I used to use my tablet to hail Uber cars before I upgraded my phone.
The only downside was I could not call my driver when he could not find me. I tried using Hangouts but it didn't work. I was able to get texts from the driver however.
How To Order Uber If You Don't Have A Laptop, Desktop, Tablet, Smart phone OR even a mobile Phone (wait..then how are you reading this article ?? )
If you are not that into technology for whatever reason or don't have it readily available all the time or have an aging parent, like I do, who doesn't have a smart phone, then one can STILL order Uber with a regular dumb cell phone or landline with an online service called GoGoGrandparent. I have not tried this service and it might not be available everywhere, but here is the link for more information on that. Here is the phone number to call to get more information Call (855) 464-6872.
You could also get someone else to order Uber for you.
Lyft and Uber are getting in the act themselves for land line phone ordering. The program is currently limited to San Diego and LA however.
Reasons to Order Uber Online:
- you don't own a smartphone but you do own a tablet, laptop or desktop computer, or have access to one. Or you left your smartphone at home or lost it.
- you want a friend to visit you who is car-less and ordering them an Uber Ride is a nice gesture to show you want them to visit
- you love Uber and you want your friends to experience how great it is above and beyond that initial free $15 credit but they are afraid to order the first ride themselves
- your friend is going on a trip and you don't have time to drop them at the airport but want to wish them a bon voyage or you want them to have a nice experience once they get to their destination in the US.
- you have an Uber loving friend who is a little strapped for cash
Another option to ordering Uber online for a friend is to use Uber Events.
Check out our Uber Driver Store for some items we recommend for drivers
